Ugh. Yep, super long four days, deadhead to Atlanta and back with two days in Fort Smith, or any other the other hamlets down there.

Default Early Release

Newb here, just curious about the early release option. Is this awarded regularly(ERJ)? How are the number of potential early releases calculated? If I could bounce out town early that would be cool, if not eh, whatever...

Thanks,

Thanks,
Put in the request online, you might get a release email. If not, you can try calling and bugging them. Sometimes the squeeky wheel thing works.

Thanks for the info, ended up taking my name off the list because I just didn't need it anymore.

In my short time on reserve I think I requested early release 10 times. Got denied 10 times as well. And, of course, I was never used on any of those days.

Great if you're sitting reserve at home. Not so great when you're​ commuting to reserve and your last option departs 15 minutes before your official release time...

No it was just my assumption with it being a MX base and I knew we had CRJ'S going through. Just an assumption, which I was wrong about! Lol
